= Bio =
Aren't Bios just what the person wants you to know about them? It is difficult for me to know what you want to know about me? I can promise you that you will only ever get the truth from/with me. Ask away-- let's have dialogue, especially if you had a bad experience crossing paths with me. So much has changed in the past few years, the big one is that I no longer drink. If it is a special occasion and the time is right, I may have some fun. More about that in the blog I just want you to know that I WILL NOT EVER lie to you, even if it really hurts me. There's no reason to be dishonest and that only causes problems, it's my biggest no.. Let's just put it on the table, I think that's the best way to know more about me other than the art I create....
So for now I want you to know these things about me:
- My Animals are EVERYTHING, I have 7 cats (9 at the most), 7 chickens, 2 dogs and one husband
- Art is the only thing I am truly good at, I can reproduce just about anything but have difficulty thinking originally so I draw inspiration from around me; visual research is KEY. I have a degree in Technical Communications, Bachelor of Arts 2002 from Metropolitan State University of Denver, Emphasis in Design.
- Cannabis is my medicine, I will gladly share LEGALLY with you if it will help you too. MUSIC IS ALSO MEDICINE!
- GREEN CHILE IS LIFE
- My son died at 4 months into my pregnancy in 2017, we did not know this until my 5 month check-up in 2018. We found out only one week after we announced this amazing news to literally hundreds of people. I will never get over this. I lost many many friends also because my drinking was so far out of control. I just wanted to die, before this loss AND after-- through my whole life.
- My father and only parental drank himself to death. He had his own PTSD from Vietnam is all I could figure WHY. I watched the light leave his eyes, it was very graphic-- I will never be over this either, that was in 2004.
- Our home is the in the high-dessert mountains, in the heart of Colorado's wine country. It is one of the only red counties in our state. We live an isolated country lifestyle and love it, we are central to the most beautiful parts of Colorado.
- My childhood was horrible, surreal, unsafe and I have major abandonment issues that likely account for the way I am now. I have MDD and Acute Anxiety, It would be a lie for me to say that my childhood hasn't defined me in my adult life-- but it doesn't mean I'm a victim either. It just means I struggle more than most others do mentally and my upbringing is a difficult thing for me to address...
- I have a Blog that allows me to be transparent and take responsibility for all the things I've messed up in life. I hope it helps you not to feel so alone, and it helps me not to feel so alone also. I have the greatest gratitude for the people I've known and this is a place to appreciate others as well....
